BENTON - Baptist Health Urgent Care in Benton is proud to welcome Anna "Kat" Wilkerson to its team of healthcare providers. Wilkerson, an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (family specialty), brings several years of experience in emergency medicine and long-term care to the center.

Wilkerson most recently served as a Registered Nurse at Saline Memorial Hospital while also floating in the ER at Baptist Health Medical Center. During this time, she also served as an RN supervisor on weekends at Heartland Rehabilitation and Care Center. She previously worked at Mollen Immunization Clinics administering flu shots seasonally, as well as home health and skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers.

The Benton center opened in October, joining four other Baptist Health Urgent Care centers in Arkansas. The center treats a variety of urgent care and family health needs from allergies, skin conditions and stings/bug bites to broken bones, childhood illnesses and vaccinations.
